Thomas More’s disruptive DB with a nose for splash plays
A junior DB for Thomas More in the 2026 season, Avery Bodner stands out as a playmaker who can flip a game with special-teams impact and defensive chaos: in 2025 he logged a blocked punt that became a touchdown, another blocked punt that led to a safety, and an interception, while also posting 4 tackles in one game and 11 against Dayton. The takeaway: he brings intensity, versatility, and momentum-shifting value beyond the box score, making him the kind of high-energy defender coaches love to plug into a physical, aggressive scheme.
